If you loved Scary Movie and Paranormal Activity franchises, then this movie is right up your alley. Marlon Wayans is at it again with A Haunted House, a parody of the popular found-footage style horror films, replacing the jump-out-of-your-seat moments with laugh-out-loud comedy.
When Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) asks his girlfriend Kisha (Essence Atkins) to move in with him, they record their everyday life (and diminishing sex life), realizing she’s brought some extra baggage – a ghost. They ask for the help of an ex-con priest Father Williams (Cedric the Entertainer), Chip the Psychic (Nick Swardson) and Dan the Security Man (David Koechner) – among others – to exercise the demon.
Hollywood.com recently sat down with Wayans and Atkins to discuss Marlon’s risqué performance (no animals or ghosts were harmed in the production of this film), why he wants to gag Seth MacFarlane's Ted character (this would be a different type of Thunder Buddy) and increasing man meat on the big screen.
“I think women don’t see enough male nudity,” Wayans explains his reasoning for stripping down on screen. “And I figured after Channing [Tatum] did with Magic Mike with the success of that… I got twice the meat on me, and if I can show all of that meat on screen…”
A Haunted House hits theatres Friday, Jan. 11. Check out our full interview with the comedic duo below:

Jimmy Fallon must like himself a Twilight star every now and then because this week alone, he has lured two of them into his hot seat (and one more, Taylor Lautner, will be joining him Friday). Kristen Stewart stopped by his late night show Wednesday to talk about voting and the weird Chucky doll they used while filming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2. Then Robert Pattinson visited Thursday night, and the two chatted about their obsession with Corky Romano. Fallon even got Pattinson to reveal he peed his pants when he saw the movie.
Here's what you missed last night on late night TV:
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
Robert Pattinson is ready to take a break from dramatic acting. In fact, he admitted to Fallon that he would definitely consider doing a comedy. "I would like to, yes," he said. "We were talking about it earlier, I would like to mime a comedy and have somebody else do my voice. That would be amazing. I would love to just be a puppet. I wish I could do that for every single job." Pattinson and Fallon gave it a test go. Then Pattinson told Fallon about one of his favorite movies, Corky Romano. "I would say that's one of my top five movies," he said. "That's the only time I've ever genuinely peed my pants." Fallon also shared a new clip of Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!
Kirstie Alley confessed to Kimmel that she pimped out her little brother as a kid. "What I used to do with my brother is, I was sort of his pimp because I found that if I brought girls — this is when [I was] about seven and he was about four — girls to my bedroom, and I showed them his wiener, I'd charge $.15," she said. "They would give me a dime and a nickle, and I would say, 'Craig (that's my brother) you get the big coin.' And he was like, 'Whoa.' He got the big percentage." Her stunt didn't last long though. "We ran out of neighbors," she said. "They saw it once, they weren't that impressed. But it was a good run. That week was good."

Late Show With David Letterman
Robin Williams shared his feelings on Washington and Colorado legalizing marijuana. "There's some crazy weed out there, dude," he said. "It's not like the weed we grow up with like, 'I'm a little hungry.' This is like cartoon weed." But Williams probably won't be blazing anytime soon. "I can't smoke marijuana, I just start laughing," he said. "It's like a porn actor who farts. It's not good."
The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
Sally Field talked about living through Hurricane Sandy in her new NYC apartment. She is on the 14th floor and had to walk up and down the stairs with a tiny flashlight. How inconvenient. Field also revealed that she had to gain 25 pounds for role as Mary Todd Lincoln in Lincoln. "It was very hard, and it wasn't as much fun as you would think," she said. "It was horrifying because I'm of a certain age [66], and I kept thinking if I don't do it right, I will drop dead halfway through this and someone else will get the role. I tried to do it healthy."

Conan
Javier Bardem just got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He admitted to O'Brien that he would visit his star, but only at night. Bardem also talked about his obsession with O'Brien's hair. "The only reason I keep on playing characters is to try to find a character with that hairstyle [O'Brien's hairstyle]... with your hairstyle. It's an obsession for me." Do you think Bardem would look good rocking O'Brien's 'do?

S1:E2 Just as I predicted last week, The Walking Dead was going easy on us the first time around. This week, the show threw that out the window and gave us an onslaught of zombie guts and axe-slinging. In other words, things just got awesome. While Frank Darabont directed last week’s premiere, he’s taken a back seat for the remaining episodes, acting only as a writer from here on out. The problem is that his absence from the director’s chair shows. The good news is that the show is still a great take on the age-old living dead story and Darabont’s guidance obviously continues to be an influence.
Last night, we got a better look at the situation at Shane’s survivor camp. The episode opens on the camp as Lori switches off foraging duty with another young girl and ventures out into the forest by herself. As she searches in the brush for mushrooms or other edibles, she hears rustling leaves and snapping branches and her nervousness continues to spike. (Why are these women going off into the woods, alone, without guns or knives? Does the fact that there’s a zombie apocalypse going on mean nothing to you?) Just as she’s about to dive into a full-on freak-out, Shane surprises her, covering her mouth and wrestling her to the ground before they strip off their clothes and go at it in the grass. Lori hesitates and takes a moment to remove her necklace – which makes me assume it was a gift from Rick – but continues to have sex with his best friend. This will not end well, that’s for sure.
Back in Atlanta, Rick is right where we left him. He’s still hiding out in the tank surrounded everywhere by walkers, talking to the mysterious voice who contacted him through the radio in the last few moments of the premiere episode. The guy helps him formulate a plan to get out of the tank and reach safety. Luckily, Rick’s former steed is still providing a distraction for the walkers, but unfortunately his duffel bag of ammo is far out of reach. He takes what ammo he can from the zombie marine inside the tank and jumps out of the tank, running down the street and shooting off his measly 15 shots when the guy from the radio grabs him and pulls him into the alley. With walkers clamoring after them, they scamper up a fire escape, a temporary safe haven until one of the walkers finally figures out how to use it to climb up.
As Glenn berates Rick for being such a dumbass (his words, not mine but I have to agree) they climb up to the roof and then enter the building from there. The young man’s name is Glenn, and as they descend into the building, he uses a hand radio to call the others and let them know he’s bringing Rick in. As they near the rest of the group, two walkers approach them just as two men in masks jump out and beat the undead assaulters to a pulp – literally. Glenn and Rick enter the room safely, but almost immediately, Rick has a gun pointed in his face. A woman named Andrea holds the gun, saying he’s sentenced them to death because he’s ruined their ability to sneak around peaceably when he ran through the streets shooting his gun.
Rick breaks out the emergency fire axe, but he can’t manage to swing it at the putrid corpse. Instead he kneels down and inspects the former man’s wallet, learning his name and his history and age from his pictures and I.D. They all share saddened glances when Glenn announces that (conveniently) the man was also an organ donor. With that, Rick hacks into the body as guts spurt everywhere and everyone groans at what must be one of the most horrid smells imaginable. Oh holy shit. Do you get where they’re going with this? They need to smell like the dead, so they’re going to cover themselves in …the dead. Excuse me while I shudder. Glenn and Rick rub the gutted zombie’s entrails all over their overcoats, wrapping intestines around their necks like scarves and tying severed feet and hands around their necks like talismans. I guess if you’re going to cover yourself in undead entrails, you aren’t going to take a chance on using too little. They stagger into the streets while the others watch on from the roof, and as long as they stay mostly silent, their stench seems to be working.
Up on the roof, the group finally gets through the “others” that they’ve been referring to. Of course, it’s Shane’s camp. At the scene, Shane is all up in Rick’s business. First he screws his wife and now Shane’s trying to bond with Rick’s son. I know they think he’s dead, but damn, he’s quick to turn into a claim jumper. Shane also elects to ignore the Atlanta group’s plea for help. Andrea’s sister , Amy, is alive and screams at Shane for leaving her sister to die in Atlanta when she volunteered to go there to help the group. See? I stand by my previous assertion that Shane’s an asshole.
Meanwhile, Glenn and Rick continue to traipse through the streets alongside walkers, but the clouds are darkening and thunder cracks in the background. Then the rain begins. Well, crap. The walkers’ groans grow louder as the rain falls and Rick and Glenn realize it’s cleaning them of their undead scent. Shit. A walker lunges for them and Rick quickly swings his fire axe and splits the walker’s head in two. They run for the truck lot as Rick mows down zombies with his axe along the way. Can we just pause for a moment, and relish the sheer awesomeness of this scene? Rick runs through the streets cutting down zombies with a crude axe while covered in zombie entrails. Purely epic.
The reach the lot and close the gate, temporarily shutting out the droves of walkers. They run for one of the moving trucks just as one walker jumps the fence. (Wait, what? Since when do zombies jump? I thought they just stumbled and charged. This is not good.) Other walkers continue to climb the fence and just in time Glenn and Rick shut the doors and gun it back towards the city. As they watch from the roof, the others are sure that the duo has just left them for dead. Wow, they lose faith quickly.
The plan is still Dixon’s Hogan’s Heroes inspired plan of distraction; they find red sports car, set off its car alarm and Glenn jumps in, driving the noise around the city in hopes of distracting the walkers away from the department store long enough for Rick to pick up the others with the moving van. Glenn sends word to the people on the roof and they clamor to get to the department store loading dock to meet Rick, except for T-Dog who Rick gave the key to Dixon’s handcuffs. He almost leaves Dixon there, but his humanity overtakes his anger over the racist comments and he runs back to unlock Dixon. He trips and falls, dropping the key down the drain and sealing Dixon’s fate. Them’s the brakes, dude. Don’t you know the racist guy always gets it? Seriously, these people do not watch enough television.
They all escape to the loading dock just as the final set of doors give way at the front of the store. Walkers flood in, grasping at their heels as they jump into the moving van and drive away. Nobody seems to care that Dixon is missing. Gee, I wonder why. As they’re hauled away from the city, Andrea realizes Glenn is missing and asks where he is. Cut to Glenn screaming his head off as he speeds down the deserted highway in his hijacked sports car. Zombies be damned; nothing beats an open highway with no consequences. If he didn’t have to cover himself in undead entrails in order to earn that luxury, I’d totally be jealous. Mission accomplished…for now.

S4:E1 The fourth season of Gossip Girl premiered last night, and in the event you missed it, I hope to God you were busy trying to prove the Georgina Sparks of your life is pregnant with someone else’s baby and not yours.
The episode started off with a montage of the end of last season, where Jenny slept with Chuck, Chuck got shot, Georgina returned to NYC very much pregnant, Serena broke up with Nate, and Jenny went back to Hudson because at least the boys she sleeps with there won’t immediately get gunned down in an alley somewhere after. Then we bounced right back into Blair and Serena’s magnificent time in Paris, where they spent their summer eating, spending money on clothes and not any suitcases for them to be brought back to the states in, and reading Gossip Girl on their phones. But throughout it all, Blair felt lonely without a Parisian love, and Serena felt nothing because she’s been busy drinking the free drinks from hot Parisian bartenders.
Back in New York, we saw Dan shacked up in his dad’s old apartment in Brooklyn (presumably which he’s using to hide the pregnant Georgina) and listening to Nate talk about how fun and tiresome it is to have sex with everyone in Chuck’s black book. But one question hasn’t been answered yet: WAS THAT CHUCK’S DECAYING JAWBONE AND PINKY RING WE TRIPPED OVER ON OUR WAY HERE?
Well, we’re not sure yet. Lily got a call from some Bass family businessman, asking her if she’d seen Chuck because he hadn’t paid the mortgage on his hotel since May….which apparently is when he “left.” Lily called Serena in Paris without so much of a thought about the $500,000 roaming fee (because you KNOW S was too lazy to go get a Parisian cell phone plan for her Blackberry) to ask if she or Blair had heard from Chuck. Serena revealed she got into Columbia, and wasn’t sure if Blair would be happy for her because that would mean they were going to start competing with one another again, which we want to see anyway.
Vanessa went over to Dan’s house to unleash some of the only soul flavor we get on this white boy show, and call him out on ignoring everyone and not calling her all summer. Vanessa and her CNN journalism eyes scoped the room and saw panties and other feminine underwears, and only got even angrier when she found out they belonged to Georgina Sparks, who had just given birth to Milo, Dan’s little hipster son who wears hats indoors.
Back in Paris, Blair met a prince who asked her out while she was staring at her favorite Manet. She called Serena to do some immediate shopping, and while they were about to go buy boots to the tune of Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, Prince Louis texted to tell Blair he was bringing his friend…which meant Blair was going to have to bring Serena to be his date.
Vanessa met up with Dan to talk about when he was going to tell his father about Georgia and the baby, and she also asked if he was sure Milo was his. Dan said he was “pretty sure” he was, but there’s no way he’s the father because GG writers spent too much time helping the Brooklyn boy fit in with the Manhattan crowd for it to all go downhill with an impregnation...or did they?
Blair and Serena got all dolled up for their double date, only to find Serena actually had the date with the Prince – Blair had the date with his chauffeur. During the dessert and a long Waldorf dissertation on the importance of men’s formalwear, Blair’s mother called and revealed Serena was going to attend Columbia in the fall. Ohhh, I see what’s happening – the writers are bringing us back to a time called Season 1, when Serena came back to New York and stole away Blair’s thunder! There must be lots of Krispy Kremes in the writers' room these days!
At Lily and Rufus’ Fashion’s Night Out party (how timely!), Georgina brought Milo and introduced him to everyone as Dan’s son. Unfortunately, the first time everyone met him was when he was wearing a bandana like Bret Michaels. Dan called the doctor to CONFIRM HE’S THE FATHER, and he is, in fact, el papa. But Georgina does a way too good “secret Russian on the phone” for all of this to be over and done with just yet.
At the end of Blair’s and Serena’s date in Paris, they fought about being in each other’s shadows and Blair pushed Serena into a fountain. Blair went back to the restaurant and just as she was asking her date (who she thought was the chauffeur) to take her home, he revealed to her that he was actually the Prince! Oh Gossip Girl, your games are better than those one would enjoy on a cruise for old people! But Blair's heart still aches!
At the end of the episode, Lily got a call from a French policeman who said they found a body with ID that said it was Chuck Bass. But it wasn’t Chuck’s, because we saw a kind blond girl with a liking of Shakespeare had poured gin in his wound and extracted a bullet from his side, and that Chuck was really living quite nicely in Paris! All the hotel heirs get to have all the fun, we see YET AGAIN.

In this adaptation of a short story by Ray Bradbury time travel is a lucrative business in the year 2055 especially for Charles Hatton (Ben Kingsley). His "travel" agency specializes in escorting wealthy clients on exclusive hunting trips back to the Prehistoric Age. Under the watchful eye of seasoned scout Dr. Travis Ryer (Ed Burns) it's all carefully choreographed with strenuous guidelines put in place to protect the creatures' natural habitats and prevent time travelers from impacting the course of evolution. Of course something goes awry on one certain "jump" and rules are indeed broken. When the hunting expedition returns they discover their world is a markedly different place than it was when they left. In fact things are soon going to hell in a handbasket. Ryer must team up with Sonia Rand (Catherine McCormack) the inventor of the time travel technology to figure it all out and stop the catastrophic events now threatening to erase humanity from existence. The moral of the story? Don't go back in time and kill a prehistoric butterfly.
The cast is fairly ineffectual save for scenery chewer Kingsley as the callous Hatton. Sure the Oscar-winning actor must be doing sub-par movies for a paycheck (Thunderbirds?) but at least he puts a little heart into it. Come on he could read the phone book with a paper bag over his head and still be good. Burns once again plays the same deadpan wiseacre he's perfected in films like The Brothers McMullen and Confidence. But as a studious scientist trying to justify meddling with time travel and evolution he's not nearly as convincing. Neither is McCormack (Braveheart) as the raving voice of reason telling everyone how it isn't nice to fool with Mother Nature while making a makeshift time machine out of spare parts. How very MacGyver. There are other minor characters too but they serve more as food for all the "evolved" creatures hunting them down.
Besides taking Bradbury's clever story and reducing it to clichéd mumbo jumbo Thunder's biggest drawback is how juvenile it looks. Honestly veteran director Peter Hyams should know better having directed some lean and serviceable otherworldly thrillers such as TimeCop and End of Days. We are subjected to shot after amateur shot--at least in this day and age--of actors against a very obvious green screen; street scenes of a "futuristic" Chicago with "futuristic" cars zooming by as the actors walk and talk; and the not-so-scary dinosaur nearly attacking the group. And then there are those evolved creatures--half-baboon/half-dinosaurs giant flying bats. It's just embarrassing to watch. You have to wonder at some point what the film would have been if Master Spielberg had taken the helm. This seems like it would be right up his alley.
